http://www.justine-henin.be/public/index.asp?lang=en US OPEN 07 - Born To Be Alive 08/09/2007: Justine rocked Arthur Ashe stadium and defeated Venus Williams 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 in the battle of the creme de le creme in the US OPEN. It was one of the most brilliant performances seen in a semi-final at Flushing Meadows since Justine's 2003 match against Jennifer Capriati. It was two hours of astonishing shot making, athletism, deft hands, and exhilrating speed from two champions. Justine plays Svetlana Kuznetsova in the finals on Saturday night for the ultimate prize. The last time Justine played Venus Williams was January 23, 2003, roughly four and 1/2 years ago. To put things in tennis season perspective Roger wasn't a name anyone associated with tennis, the top ten weren't multi-national yet, America ruled at majors, and Justine was known as that Belgian player not named Kim. There was a slight breeze on Arthur Ashe stadium this late Saturday afternoon, but temperatures were in the mid 80's Fahrenheit. Proceedings took a while to start with Williams walking off court. Justine paced like a caged tiger on the baseline waiting to pounce, and she ran off in a 3-0 lead breaking the legendary Williams serve in the opening game. The Belgian tennis queen continued to hit outstanding shots, but let Williams back into the match at 5-3. The quality of each game rose to the climax tiebreaker with the one of highlights being a 27 stroke rally point that covered all corners of the court which Williams won. A highly animated Super Henin claimed each point as if match point to take the tiebreak 7-2. Both players seemed to lose a bit of steam after the first 4 games of the second. Both players had problems with unforced errors on serve, but the level of play rose as the tension dropped. Justine kept her lead and closed in for the finish as Williams seem to wilt under pressure and looked defect with fatigue. Justine took match point with rock star strut on the wilting Williams service games. Final score 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 in 1 hr 59 min. Visit our forum to voice your thoughts on final four.
